For 11 years, Terry Fator and his cast of characters have been performing at the Mirage Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. Fator opened at the Mirage in March 2009.
On January 30, the hotel issued a letter to Fator that he was to vacate the theater within six months, enacting an option to close the show if its average occupancy dipped below 900 paid tickets in the 1,200-seat venue (or, 75 percent).
It appears his final show in that theater will be June 30. Fator is looking for another venue in Las Vegas. Perhaps he could move into 1 Oak Nightclub, which is set to close this month and is expected to be renovated as a performance space.
Magician Shin Lim also headlines the Terry Fator Theater and is booked through June 7, but is expected to extend. Lim is also a former “America’s Got Talent” champ, having won Season 13 in 2018 and also the 2019 “Champions” spin-off.
The venue is also host to the Aces of Comedy series, filled with such national headliners as Bill Maher, Ron White, Jay Leno, Daniel Tosh, Whitney Cummings and David Spade with Ray Romano.
Over the past several months, Fator had scaled back his show in an apparent move to offset sluggish sales. Fator’s tickets had been listed on ticket sites such as Fillaseat and House Seats, which offer tickets at no cost for select shows in return for an annual subscription fee. The Mirage is owned by MGM Resorts International.
